Chapter Summary

This front matter section of the book A Companion to Medieval Palermo contains the table of contents, an acknowledgement, a list of figures and contributors, and abbreviations. The Companion to Medieval Palermo offers a panorama of the history of Medieval Palermo from the sixth to the fifteenth century. Often described by contrast with the communal reality of Medieval Italy as submitted to a royal (external) authority, the city is here given back its density and creativity.
